Just joshin' on the passes, mate! I have already had the namm shred-headache (shredache) one too many times.

All I'm saying is that there are guys that can play MUSICALLY with soul, there are guys that can "shred", and then there are the rare ones that can do both.
Metheney is definitely one of those. Hendrix was one. Charlie Christian. Ron Eschete. John Abercrombie. Scofield. Alan Holdsworth, etc etc.... They all shred in their own right. Or maybe I'm old now and the definition of "shred" has become narrower and only applies to metal. Either way...

I can't handle the mechanical wanky wanky widdly widdly bag-o-trix stuff as you guys discussed either. Totally with you on that. BB King over any of those guys any day and BB doesn't even know any chords.

So Lucas----You guys need to play up in my neck-o-the-woods!!! C'MON!!!
